AS Monaco keen on Moise Kean

A highly talented Juventus striker Moise Kean is said to be a transfer target for Ligue 1 heavyweights AS Monaco.

The 18-year-old forward has been widely touted as one of the brightest prospects in the Italian football and quite a few clubs from all over Europe have been closely monitoring his progress.

Moise Kean made 19 Serie A appearances and bagged four goals during his loan spell at Verona last season and has widely been expected to be shipped out for another year to gain valuable first-team experience.

The latest reports coming from Italy claim that Spanish side Leganes would be interested in loaning the Juventus starlet although the French giants AS Monaco have also jumped into the fray.

The Principality club are interested in a permanent deal for the Italian who remains highly regarded at Juventus.

Keane extended his contract with Juventus last season and is currently on a deal that runs until 2020.
